Topic: The Culture of Sales
Quick Intro: Marcus Knight, quite possibly the only person I know that has more side hustles than I do. But side hustle aren’t even the right term because they are FULL hustles. He is the founder of Cultured Perspective, the Chief Growth Officer at Black with No Chaser, Advisor to many top startups, Founding Member of Sales for the Culture, AND started a kids clothing line, my goodness! He is beyond passionate about bringing more culture into the sales world, and amplifying black voices, but what a lot of people don’t know is he is a hell of a sales leader too! Leading MM and Enterprise teams at Groupon, Talentbin, and Textio. So today we are talking culture, sales, and more. Marcus Knight, welcome to the show!
